Wanaka is a place people build their lives in, but for many, it’s becoming a place they can’t afford to grow old in. This role is a chance to help change that.
By sharing your time and ideas, you’ll join a small, passionate group working to address a critical housing shortage for people over 65 who rely on NZ Super. The funds you help raise will directly support the creation of an Abbeyfield house — a place where older people can live independently, with dignity, connection, and a sense of belonging.
About the role:
Abbeyfield Wanaka are looking for a creative, community-minded volunteer to help bring their fundraising ideas to life. You’ll join a friendly team where your voice really matters - whether you’re lending a hand with current projects or dreaming up new ways to rally the town. If you love seeing a good plan come together for a great cause, this role will suit you.
What you’ll be doing:
Why join the team?
Why this role matters:
This is more than volunteering. It’s an opportunity to give back to your community in a meaningful way, to be part of something tangible, and to leave a lasting legacy.
Years from now, people will be living well in a home that exists because of the work you were part of.
Experience is a bonus, but not essential - a genuine heart for the community is what matters most!
The first step is to express your interest by filling out the form below. We will then put you in touch directly with the organisation for more information on the role and how to proceed.
